    Chapter 12: Green Tea Movie Star x Reserved President 12

    Half a month later.

    He Corporation, besieged by three major companies, faced problem after problem, big and small. Many people in the company chose to resign and find a new working environment.

    He Corporation was not suitable for them; do not disturb.

    They wanted to earn money to support their families, but not at the cost of losing their lives in the doomed He Corporation.

    He Chixiu’s special assistant also resigned and found a new boss.

    As for He Chixiu and his father, they were too busy taking care of themselves to deal with company matters.

    System 143 was very helpful, anonymously submitting evidence of the He father and son’s years of illegal and criminal activities to the police, successfully adding to their troubles.

    Now both He Chixiu and his father were arrested and taken to the police station.

    Without its backbone, He Corporation was like a towering tree swaying in a storm, likely to collapse and die at any moment.

    The He family members, like leeches, frantically fought over the family property, successfully making the already precarious He family even more divided.

    Internal strife raged on, and external enemies surrounded them.

    The once illustrious wealthy He family had now become a hot potato that no one wanted to touch.

    As for He Chixiu’s maternal family, it had long been ruined by He’s father and mother’s tragic romance, leading to the He family’s current inability to stand alone.

    Going back several generations, every generation was a pairing of a He domineering CEO and a poor female lead, making it impossible for the He family to find even half an ally.

    Xie’s parents were a combination of politics and business, and they had three extremely promising children, such as Xie Xu who was in politics and the Xie second young mistress who was in business.

    Of course, there was also the rebellious movie star Xie Chi.

    Gu’s parents were a combination of military and business. Gu’s mother, who grew up in the military compound, took a fancy to Gu’s father, who was then a business elite. The couple had only one child, Gu Changli, after many years of marriage.

    Wang’s parents were a combination of business and business, a wealthy daughter and a rich man’s nouveau riche pairing.

    The other three major families all had powerful allies, but the unique He family had no allies and had been making enemies everywhere for many years.

    There were too many enemies to count.

    Otherwise, how could Gu Changli’s actions against the He family be so smooth sailing?

    Tsk tsk, maybe the male lead is just too hateful!

    Look at how kind he is, once again acting for the heavens and eliminating harm for the people~

    System 143: [Huh? Are you sure that’s not sarcasm?]

    How could its beautiful and wild host have such a rare and good quality as kindness.

    Don’t think it doesn’t know; the beautiful host, who was once a Gui Che for a period of time, once went on a killing spree and devoured the souls of some powerful beings.

    Gu Changli narrowed his phoenix eyes, “What did you say!”

    System 143 hid its cat paws out of instinct, [Hehe, I didn’t say anything~]

    [My host is beautiful and kind-hearted, loved by everyone.]

    It watched the small flame that floated to the top of its head disappear again before breathing a sigh of relief, patting its chest in relief.

    Mommy mia! That scared this system!

    The cow cat skin that it bought with the points it tricked out of its little friends was saved, and it didn’t have to meet people in its original light orb form anymore.

    It only had one skin, and it had to cherish it.

    System 143, having escaped a disaster, tentatively asked: [Host, do you want to open the system store? There are many good things in the store~]

    Gu Changli: “I think you’re the one who wants to open it.”

    System 143 put its two cat paws together, blinked its cat eyes, and said sweetly in a falsetto voice: [Host~ Open it, please~ I promise you won’t lose out.]

    Gu Changli was somewhat speechless, “…”

    “Open it if you want, but don’t make that disgusting sound anymore.”

    System 143 returned to its normal tone, [Okay.]

    The cat system used its paws to pull out the system panel, submitted an application to open the system store, and waited happily for the news that the application was approved.

    Not long after, a mechanical voice slowly sounded.

    [Ding! System 143’s application has been approved, and the system store is now open to assist mission takers.]

    [Warm reminder: Purchasing goods requires spending points, and borrowing points is prohibited.]

    System 143 rubbed its two cat paws, browsing the system store like a fish in water.

    It wanted to buy this, and it wanted to buy that too.

    But it was currently on its first mission, and it only had 500 points that were given for free, and it hadn’t earned the points that it should have gotten from its first mission.

    [Alas~ Poverty limits my actions.]

    The cat system, staying in the system space, was trapped in the poverty of not having points.

    Outside the system space, Gu Changli coldly and ruthlessly looked at the plan in his hand, with the unique indifference and ruthlessness of a superior.

    “It seems that we need to add more fuel to the fire. It’s really a bit of an eyesore to keep the He Corporation around.”

    The eyebrows and eyes of the beautiful youth flowed with an ingrained indifference, and the red lips were like cinnabar, carrying deadly poison.

    Xie Chi, who happened to see Gu Changli’s cold appearance, stopped and felt a sour and astringent pain in his heart, like eating a sour apple.

    Why did he feel so distressed when he saw Changli like this?

    It was as if the bright and lively wife he had worked so hard to raise was being bullied by bad people.

    Uncomfortable, unhappy, and a little wanting to cry…

    Xie Chi stepped into the president’s office and hugged Gu Changli, who was signing documents.

    “Changli, are you unhappy here?”

    Gu Changli slowly raised his head when he heard the words, put the pen in his hand on the table, and looked up at Xie Chi, who was worried next to him.

    “I’m not unhappy, don’t overthink it.”

    He was usually like that, what Baihu, his apprentice, would say was a world-weary face, equally disliking everyone who appeared in front of him.

    Of course, there were exceptions, and Xie Chi was one of them.

    Gu Changli stood up from the office chair and gently hugged the man who was worried about him.

    “I’m usually like that.”

    As he spoke, the cold air surrounding the youth gradually dissipated, and the sense of distance that rejected people thousands of miles away was no longer so obvious.

    Xie Chi watched his wife change from a thorny ice rose into a passionate red rose, and his gentle expression gradually softened the sharpness in the other person’s bones.

    He hugged the youth even tighter.

    “You can smile more often, and don’t work so hard and tire yourself.”

    “Your health is a thousand times more important than money.”

    Gu Changli smiled lightly, smiling wantonly and flamboyantly. That extremely outstanding face was so beautiful and aggressive because of this captivating smile.

    “I know, I’ll pay attention in the future.”

    Xie Chi’s eyes were immediately glued, and his two eyeballs shamelessly stuck to the other person’s body.

    His wife was so beautiful, it directly poked at his heart.

    He liked the Gu Changli in front of him, he liked him so much!

    His wife was perfect from head to toe, even her hair was beautiful.

    “Changli, how can you be so likable!”

    He rubbed Gu Changli’s neck like a happy husky, smiling extremely brightly, and there was no trace of his former calmness and dignity.

    “I like you so much, I especially like you.”

    From the first time he saw Gu Changli, there was an unspeakable joy in the depths of his heart, that kind of pleasure was like it was straight into the soul.

    As long as he was by Changli’s side, he felt that his life had become complete.

    “I like you too, Xie Chi.”

    Gu Changli gently stroked the other person’s furry head, his gaze sweeping across Xie Chi’s entire face.

    The man’s face was like jade, and his eyes were like cold stars, very good-looking.

    This was his first love that he had cherished for over 80,000 years, and it was also his beloved who taught him how to love.

    The Golden Lion Demon Lord would stand firmly on his side.

    …Would learn to make those complicated pastries because he liked sweets, and would prepare many exquisite and beautiful clothes for him.

    In those days when he was hated and hunted down by the world, Golden Lion Demon Lord was the only being who showed him kindness, and the only great demon who was willing to give him, a homeless and fallen phoenix, a home.

    At that time, he was well taken care of by the Golden Lion Demon Lord.

    As long as he wanted it, as long as the Golden Lion Demon Lord had it, the Golden Lion Demon Lord would find what he wanted.

    Such a good partner was worth his wholehearted treatment.

    Having endured the world’s greatest malice, he originally hated that world, but because of the gentle treatment of the Golden Lion Demon Lord, he fell in love with that world again.

    He would eventually bring the other party back to the Canglan World.
